      And his grandfather’s coffee was so strong and pure that just the smell of it had the same effect as drinking his grandson’s (which would get brought up every single time coffee was mentioned).

      And I don’t mean the smell of it being brewed or roasted, but just the smell of the raw beans. Roasting and brewing came from someone chasing the old bean high from their youth.
